Hitting

Jordan Lindemann has a line drive stroke – geared towards contact. Starts from a tall, balanced stance; low hands near his armpit, backward drift with hands to start load; above bat speed and barrel awareness. Lindemann hands work to stay inside of the softball; will pull in for inside-out stroke and drop head to pull. Lindemann has a little lift in his swing path but presently not adept at creating post-contact extension. Show patients in the batter’s box, but at times he can look like if he’s fighting extension early and explosiveness and so his swing suffers.

Base-Running & Defense

Lindemann has no speed at present but will pick up a grade as he continues to run. His long strides, opportunistic baserunner, will take an extra base on a fielding error. Defensively Jordan Lindemann has a steady glove, not flashy but will make the play as a Pitcher. He’ll get in front of the ball using his athleticism on those hard shots up the middle. As a catcher profile, inconsistent on the wide throws, lack of quickness the primary issue, solid fundamentals otherwise can play to fringe-average defensive utility.
